Category: English Language Homestays in the West Midlands

Droitwich, United Kingdom: We offer English tuition in a comfortable home environment with full board and lodging. On top of this we like to inroduce students to the Midlands by visiting local attractions and encouraging them to converse with other English speakers. We also arrange for dinner parties with friends so that the student can practice English socially. 'Full immersion into the English Midlands way of life' is how one of our students described the experience and we like to think of it that way.
